I have done a clean install of tripwire and generated new database (--init) with no error but I still get this when I go to check. Any ideas what is causing this? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): tripwire-2.3.1-10 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. install tripwire 2. twinstall 3. tripwire --init 4. tripwire --check Actual Results: Se above. Additional info:
More info here. This seems to happen across all redhat distros, not just 7.3. I have also swapped out hard drives with no difference. Right now, I suspect something in the motherboard/cpu combo or a (very) elusive bug in tripwire. Linux installs and seems to run fine. This is the only odd behavior that I have seen. FYI, the motherboard is a SOYO K7VMP with an Athlon XP2500 cpu. Anyone else have experience with this particular beast?
Oops. I forgot to mention that this happens on a virgin 7.3 install as well as a virgin + updates install.
The error means that Tripwire's input serializer stumbled upon a fatal data inconsistency. I've not seen anyone with such an error before, and I doubt it is a general issue with Tripwire.
Closing bug, since tripwire hasn't been shipped for so long, only in Legacy releases.
